<p>Mystery. Danger. Adventure. It's all here. And true forgiveness and courage too. Darkness crept through the stone alleys of the medieval town. On a grassy hilltop, an ancient castle overlooked a massive stone cathedral in the center of the city. In the mist outside that great church, two boys whispered softly. "It's her, Arthur!" the younger one hissed urgently through chapped lips. "The ghost?" the other asked skeptically. "You're squirrel-brained!" Inside, an eerie light shone through the cathedral's red stained glass, like a glowing ember in a hearth. It moved from one window to the next, slowly and smoothly.. The road to Lincoln is perilous for the orphan Xan and Brother Andrew. Accompanied by a dangerous prisoner, struggling with doubt and unable to forgive his parents' murderer, Xan will face his greatest challenge yet. But will it come from within himself-or from the dark cathedral, which is rumored to be haunted? Book 2, The Chronicles of Xan series The thrilling sequel to the critically acclaimed Shadow in the Dark, Book 1 in The Chronicles of Xan series</p>
